Eso info update #3 (hold on to your argonian genitals)

[OnlyAhaark]

Welcome back to the ESO updates striders! Today iv'e got some fantastic news that range from the gorgeous mountains of skyrim, past the ashy skies of morrowind right into the swamps of argonia! so get ready!

First up we've got some news on attacking Keeps in Cyrodiil.
all three factions will be able to attack one keep at a time, does this means that the live action commercial for ESO could come true? The players mind is endless

Next on our list is something i'm quite excited about as an argonian is that *drum roll* THE SHADOW-SCALES WILL BE MAKING AN APPEARANCE! yes that's right. the only form of government ever traced to blackmarsh will be appearing, but unfortunately in other news not all of blackmarsh and a selective other few places will not be fully exploreable (sorry for the misspelling).

some good news for us and our recently joined guild:Can you explain the guild stores a bit more? Do I have to be a member of a guild to buy from it or is it a public store in which a guild of crafters and merchants offer their products? Will I be able to set my own prices or would this be regulated by the guild leaders? – By John Connor

You will need to be a member of a guild to use its guild store; right now, there isn’t a public storefront for them. If you have permission (configurable by the guild leader) to sell items on the guild store, you’ll be able to set your own prices. WHICH MEANS!!! guild store galore!


This is all the info i could find but tune in next time!

Haha Ahaark, after 2 days of being MIA, you return to us with good news.

I used to be frustrated with the Shadowscales concept- In Morrowind, the player could never become one, despite being born under the sign of a shadow. In Skyrim, Veezara looked no different from the average argonian(except that glint of murderous intent in his eyes, of course)

I hope that shadowscales make a significant impact on gameplay, and have decent AI. for example, instead of staying at one place, they could be going around completing contracts. This will add a great deal of realism to these terrifying lizards.

Hmm, but the Guild stores idea worries me. We are a small Guild, and our opportunities to trade among ourselves will be limited. It seems we will have to count on the Ebonheart Trade for our source of income. Though this may aid us, we must work to becoming self reliant in times of need. (And don't worry- I think everyone will be able to sell)

[Geel-Kajin]

Oh yes, and here is how ESO dialogue will look like: 

[OnlyAhaark]

Ah yes indeed it feels good to be back. im glad that the're sticking to the original concept for speaking. i'm really liking the way the graphics look as compared to other mmos. i can honestly say that even with the subscription fee that i'm greatly excited for it. Oh and have you told the guild about the emote ceation contest

[Geel-Kajin]

haha yes i've shared it via the shoutbox. Well, we should be- The whole game is gonna change the way we see MMOs

[Darth Meeb]

I really hope they opt into some sort of micro transaction system instead of a subscription fee. By the screenshots I see they are trying to make it look like skyrim, which is good. Also Haark, do you know what the situation is on cross faction Co-op and exploration? As in like the ability for me as an Ebonheart member to travel to High rock and Co-op with my Breton Friend in some dungeon. I heard a few months ago they weren't going to allow that, but there are so many rumors flying around I don't know what to trust XD

[OnlyAhaark]

Yea, the deal with that is that when you select an ebonheart character, you are not able to enter daggerfall covenent grounds, and vice versa, but zenimax has graciously given you the ability to have a cross pact guild I.e. your Breton friend can be in a guild with you and indeed communicate throughout your travels, also there is more in cyrodiil than just pvp, there is many places that you can go like dungeons and play them with your friends that may reside elsewhere.

[Geel-Kajin]

That's some refreshing news indeed. It feels good to know that the Guild owns some sort of land that it can call it's own, where no other faction can touch. What's more, seeing as we have the greatest land mass, we will have great fun exploring.

[Darth Meeb]

I don't know, personally thats a major con to me. I know its because they want to preserve their 'faction territories' but it takes away from the co-op experience if you are unable to explore places like Elswyr and Hammerfell as a Argonian or Dunmer. Its not a deal breaker (thats the sub fee) but its certainly not something I am extremely pleased about.

[Geel-Kajin]

Ah well. However, I heard there will be DLCs in the future. Even if we cannot explore Elsweyr or Hammerfell, we can be assured there will no end to new places to explore. I also think that certain parts in different faction territory (border towns, perhaps), will be open to people of other factions.Til then, we can always use the time to settle down in our own faction territory.
